“Cohen occasionally taped his conversations with others and would play them back for colleagues...”

If so, Cohen is the dumbest lawyer money can buy.

> “Cohen occasionally taped his conversations with others and would play them back for colleagues, those close to Cohen told the Washington Post newspaper.”

Now why would ‘colleagues close to Cohen’ tell the Washington Post anything and how would ‘The Hill’ know anything about it?

This is unsubstantiated crap filling print space to keep the latest anti-Trump hysteria witch hunt activity in the news cycle. Not a shred of truth in any of it.

A 10 year trip apparently.

Mueller could die in office.

Nothing, and the media (who is nonpartisan because they say so) doesn’t care.

From your keyboard to God's ears.

In any case, no matter how he expires, there will be celebrations.

I always thought the FBI was a law enforcement branch of the Executive branch

I also thought the Attorney Generals office acted as the legal defense for the executive branch. and I always thought the President of the United States was the head of the Executive Branch

Now it seems that the FBI is the enforcement division that assists the Attorney Generals office which now acts as the Prosecution and assault branch to attack the President of the United States relentlessly

Very Strange new form of government we have here now

The formwer system of checks and balances has become unchecked and imbalanced

If you don’t tape, you don’t have the leverage.

“that search warrant better be air freaking tight, because that is the first move to knock it down in court...”

None of this was ever going to court. Mueller is compiling a long laundry list of ‘crimes’ to present to congress.

He needs to be arrested immediately and sent to gitmo.

What the hell constitutes attorney-client privilege if recordings of your discussions with your attorney are not privileged? Let's be real here.

Think about Bill Ayers (”Guilty as hell, free as A bird.” “I don't regret setting bombs.”) and why he avoided conviction. It was because of the methods the FBI used to target Ayers' militant group, the Weather Underground. So, the FBI acts inappropriately and a criminal militant anti-American who made bombs and was responsible for people dying goes ‘free as a bird’, but a successful US businessman, who has created jobs and who is very pro-American, has his attorney's office raided and records absconded - to try to find records related to a prostitute he allegedly had a fling with over 10 years ago. I don't know this country anymore.

well we can be certain the cause of death wont be Arkanicide,

and it won't be mysterious, unexplained and un-investigated like Seth Rich's death

This woman has claimed to have slept with Donald Trump and has also claimed never to have slept with Donald Trump.

I'm wondering if she had a fling with Donald Trump Jr.

Even if the materials seized are inadmissible in Court, the FBI cannot “unknow” what they now know. And that was the whole point of the search.

“We heard he had some proclivity to make tapes,” one Trump adviser told the paper. “Now we are wondering, who did he tape?

Well, among the possibilities are Oleg Deripaska, Felix Sater, Paul Manafort... And perhaps how the "dossier" got into the hands of John McCain?

I could care less. I'm so sick of the disgusting insects who constitute the ‘visible left’. That more than a few of these morons are graduates of ‘name’ East Coast universities is a pretty significant indictment of the lack of quality and intellectual rigor of these overhyped and pathetic ‘institutions’.

And now they’re busy shopping for a federal judge that will overlook the insane violation of attorney-client privilege at trial. What’s sad is that a judge like that won’t be hard to find.
